development. New development under the CPP wouldtotal approximately 7.7 million square feet of new buildingarea.

o Community Proposed Plan – Recology Expansion Variant (CPP-V). The CPP-V scenario encompasses the same733-acre area as the CPP scenario, and differs from the CPP in thatit proposes expansion of the existing Recology facility inthe northeast portion of the Brisbane Baylands within theBrisbane city limits. Under the CPP-V scenario, Recologywould expand southward from its current boundary, replacing the hotel and R&D uses proposed under the CPP just northof Geneva Avenue and east of Tunnel Road. Theexisting

44.2-acre Recology site would expand by 21.3 acres to a total of 65.5 acres, consolidating existing offsite recycling and corporation yard facilities into one location withinthe Baylands. The square footage of the developed areas on the Recology site would increase from the existing 260,000square feet to 1,011,000 square feet. Total new development under the CPP-V scenario would be approximately 8.1 million square feet of new building area.

Future discretionary approvals and permits proposed required for development within the Baylands, including, but not limited to, siteremediation and provision of water supply, will be subject to theprovisions of CEQA. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c), the City or theResponsible Agency undertaking will review any such future discretionary actions concerning development within the Baylands Project Site fordevelopment within the Baylands will to determine the extent to whichthe analyses contained in this EIR address the impacts of such discretionary actions, whether additional environmental review is required, and what form that that review will take. When Should additional environmental analysis is determined to be necessary, the City or the Responsible Agency may use the information in this EIR to assist in support such future environmental review.

In addition to providing sufficient information and adequate analysis of the environmental effectsof Project Site development, this EIR also provides analysis of those activities that must occur as conditions of future development within the Project Site. Such activities include the remediation of hazardous materials contamination in the former railyard andlandfill areas of the Project Site and verification of water supply for Project Site development. More specifically, this EIR is intended toadequately characterize and analyze the impacts of possible remedial activities to be undertaken within the former landfill and railyard areas of the Project Siteata programmatic level. The EIR recognizes that the specific remediation
